What is Bet Builder?

Betfred's Bet Builder is an advanced betting feature offered by Betfred that enables punters to create personalised bets, by selecting multiple outcomes from the same game or event. For e.g. if you wanted to bet on West Ham United vs Chelsea FC, you can select from the 3 way market for West Ham United to win, from the Both Teams to Score market "Yes" both teams will score and from the Anytime Goals Scorer market for Cole Palmer to score a goal at anytime during the match. These selections will become a single bet on your bet slip when using bet builder. If the same selections are made without the bet builder functionality, they will form multiple bets on your bet slip. Which is considered a multi bet. The Bet Builder consolidates these choices into a single bet, allowing for more tailored and potentially lucrative wagers.

Bets with multiple selections have been around for a long time and are extremely popular among casual and seasoned bettors it is known as an accumulator bet in some circles. An accumulator is a selection of bets from different events and if all the selections are successful the bet pays out but if just one selection is wrong, then the bet is lost.

 Advantages of Bet Builder

Some advantages of Betfred's Bet Builder include the following:

• More flexibility and customisation compared to a traditional accumulator bet
• The ability to tailor your bets to your unique predictions and increase your chances of winning.
• The potential to win big if all your predictions are correct.

How to Maximise Betfred's Bet Builder

To get the most out of Betfred's bet builder.

• Consider how one leg of your bet may affect another: For example, if you bet on a team to win and also on a player from that team to score, these selections are likely to be related. The opposite would be to bet on one team to win, and than select both teams to score "No", this is contradictory to your original selection and will most likely will not be a possible outcome.
• Work backwards from the end result: Start with the outcome you want and work backwards to build a bet that complements the result. This approach can help you create a more cohesive and logical bet. For example, you may back a team to win, a player from the that team to score and total goals to be over 1.5.
• Use the bet builder tab to cut out impossible bets: The bet builder tab can help you avoid placing bets that are unlikely to win. Use this feature to streamline your selections and focus on realistic outcomes.
• Focus on selections that are not contradictory: Avoid selecting markets that are mutually exclusive or contradictory. For example, don’t bet on both teams to score and also on one team to keep a clean sheet.
• Use booking points and specific players picking up yellow cards to boost odds: These markets can offer higher odds and increase the potential payout. Consider adding these selections to your bet builder for added value.
